Current report
However, as of December 31, 2025, we are no longer conducting operations in jurisdictions that have enacted an undertaxed profit rule as of December 31, 2025 which would result in our earnings being subjected to the 15% minimum tax under the Pillar Two rules. We will continue to monitor changes to the law, and if we are operating in jurisdictions that enact an undertaxed profit rule, we will contemplate restructuring alternatives. Furthermore, we will continue to monitor Cayman Islands law to see if the Cayman Islands implements a qualified domestic minimum tax or an undertaxed profit rule that would subject our income to the 15% global minimum tax. Nevertheless, if there are law changes in the future that expand the Pillar Two rules to the United States and the Cayman Islands or any other jurisdictions where we operate, there could be a material adverse impact on our effective tax rate and/or higher cash tax liabilities as noted earlier.
Current report
We have been advised by our Cayman Islands legal counsel that it is uncertain whether the courts of the Cayman Islands will allow shareholders of the Company to originate actions in the Cayman Islands based upon securities laws of the U.S. In addition, there is uncertainty with regard to Cayman Islands law related to whether a judgment obtained from U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws will be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands as penal or punitive in nature. If such determination is made, the courts of the Cayman Islands will not recognize or enforce the judgment against a Cayman Islands exempted company, such as any of our subsidiaries incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. There is limited judicial guidance from the courts of the Cayman Islands regarding the circumstances under which judgments obtained from U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws will be considered penal or punitive in nature; however, it will likely depend on the particular provision and the remedy sought. Accordingly, it is uncertain whether such judgments would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands. Although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign monetary judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits of the underlying dispute based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given, provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and generally for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, and not obtained by fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). The courts of the Cayman Islands will apply the rules of Cayman Islands private international law to determine whether the foreign court is a court of competent jurisdiction.

According to CLIA, North America, our core market, continues to remain the largest source market for passenger volume. During 2023, 57% of passengers in the global cruise industry were sourced from North America, and most increases to passenger volume were in the United States, with an incremental increase of 2.7 million passengers from 2019 to 2023. While the Caribbean remains the top destination for cruise travelers, representing 44.2% of passenger volume during 2023, a growing number of passengers are sourced from outside North America in markets such as Europe, Asia, Australasia, South America, and the Middle East. A significant portion of the cruise industry’s growth is expected to come from expansion of markets outside of our core North American market. We believe that non-North American passengers spend less on our services and products than North American passengers.

As of December 31, 2024, we guaranteed total minimum payments to owners of our land-based venues of approximately $3.0 million in the aggregate for 2025. As of December 31, 2024, we guaranteed total minimum payments to cruise lines of approximately $173.3 million in the aggregate for 2025. This amount does not take into account canceled cruise voyages, which would not be subject to guaranteed minimum payment requirements. As we renew or enter into new agreements with cruise lines and land-based venues, we may experience increases in such required payments.

Our continued success will depend to a significant extent on our senior executive officers, including Leonard Fluxman, our Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Lazarus, our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, and Susan Bonner, our Chief Commercial Officer. The unanticipated loss of the services of any of these persons or other key management personnel, due to illness, disability, resignation or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Almost all of our shipboard personnel come from jurisdictions outside the United States. Our ability to obtain non-United States shipboard employees in the future is subject to regulations in certain countries from which we source a number of our employees and, in the case of one country, control by an employment company that acts on behalf of employees and potential employees from that country. In addition, in that country, we are required to deal with local employment companies to facilitate the hiring of employees. Our ability to obtain shipboard employees from those countries on economic terms that are acceptable to us may be hampered by our inability to enter into an acceptable agreement with the applicable local employment company.

Currently, we and our non-United States subsidiaries are not subject to Bahamas income tax or other (including United States federal) income tax, except as set forth below. These non-United States subsidiaries earn a substantial portion of our revenue, which contributes to our low effective tax rate.

Previous wording
ECI may include any type of income from sources within the United States (“U.S.-source income”), but only limited types of income from sources without the United States (“foreign-source income”). OneSpaWorld (Bahamas) has three types of income: income from the provision of health and wellness services, income from the sales of health and wellness products and income from leasing (at rates determined on an arm’s length basis) our shipboard employees and space to a United States subsidiary that performs health and wellness services and sells health and wellness products while the ships are in United States waters and pays OneSpaWorld (Bahamas) the amounts referenced above (the “U.S. Waters Activities”).

income to OneSpaWorld (Bahamas) from the U.S. Waters Activities is ECI, and thus subject to United States income taxation, but constitutes a small percentage of OneSpaWorld (Bahamas)’s total income.
Current wording
income to OneSpaWorld (Maritime) from the U.S. Waters Activities is ECI, and thus subject to United States income taxation, but constitutes a small percentage of OneSpaWorld (Maritime)’s total income.
Previous wording
To the extent that our belief about the source of OneSpaWorld (Bahamas)’s shipboard income is correct, such income would not be ECI because such income is income of a character (compensation for services, gains on sales of certain property, and rental income from the lease of tangible property) that cannot be treated as ECI unless it is treated as U.S.-source income. However, OneSpaWorld (Bahamas)’s shipboard income generated while in port in The Bahamas is subject to the payment of a 10% VAT payable to the Bahamas Department of Inland Revenue.

Previous wording
Under United States Treasury Department regulations, as of January 1, 2007, all or a portion of OneSpaWorld (Bahamas)’s income for periods commencing on or after that date could be subject to United States federal income tax at a rate of up to 35% with respect to income earned prior to January 1, 2018 and 21% with respect to income earned thereafter:

Previous wording
Additionally, if OneSpaWorld (Bahamas) were considered to be a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”) for purposes of the source rule regulations, any of its shipboard income would be considered U.S.-source income and would be subject to United States federal income tax unless such income is attributable to functions performed, resources employed or risks assumed in a foreign country or countries.

Previous wording
Under certain “downward attribution” rules made applicable by a provision of Pub. L. No. 115-97, enacted December 22, 2017 (known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (“TCJA”)), to determine the CFC status of a foreign corporate subsidiary of a foreign parent corporation that also has a U.S. subsidiary, the foreign subsidiary may in certain circumstances be treated as a CFC based solely on its brother-sister relationship to the U.S. subsidiary. However, on September 22, 2020, the Federal Register published an amendment to the source rule regulations (the “2020 amendment”), providing that for purposes of that regulation, the status of a foreign corporation as a CFC or not is determined without regard to the above-mentioned provision of the TCJA. The 2020 amendment applies to taxable years of foreign corporations ending on or after October 1, 2019. For taxable years of foreign corporations ending before October 1, 2019, a taxpayer may apply such provisions to the last taxable year of a foreign corporation beginning before January 1, 2018, and each subsequent taxable year of the foreign corporation, provided that the taxpayer and U.S. persons that are related (within the meaning of section 267 or 707) to the taxpayer consistently apply such provisions with respect to all foreign corporations.

Most recently, Pub. L. No. 119-21, enacted July 4, 2025 (known as the“One Big Beautiful Bill Act"), reinstated a provision that was previously repealed by the TCJA and that limits downward attribution of stock ownership under the CFC rules effective for tax years of foreign operations beginning after December 31, 2025.
Previous wording
Accordingly, solely for purposes of the source rule regulations, we believe that OneSpaWorld (Bahamas) should not be characterized as a CFC. This should allow us to treat most of our shipboard income, which is earned by a foreign corporation that would not be a CFC but for the TCJA provision referred to above, to be foreign source income to the same extent as income earned by a foreign corporation that is not a CFC.
Current wording
In light of the foregoing, for purposes of the source rule regulations, we believe that OneSpaWorld (Maritime) should not be characterized as a CFC. This should allow us to treat most of our shipboard income as foreign source income to the same extent as income earned by a foreign corporation that is not a CFC.
Previous wording
If OneSpaWorld (Bahamas) is subject to United States federal income tax (at a rate of 21%) on its income that is ECI, it also would be subject to a branch profits tax of 30% on its annual dividend equivalent amount (a measure of its after-tax earnings that are considered to be withdrawn, from its United States business).

Previous wording
Separately, certain non-United States jurisdictions may also assert that OneSpaWorld (Bahamas)’s income is subject to their income tax. For example, some of our United Kingdom, Bahamas and United States subsidiaries provide goods and/or services to us and certain of our other subsidiaries. The United Kingdom or United States tax authorities may assert that some or all of these transactions do not contain arm’s length terms. In that event, income or deductions could be reallocated among our subsidiaries in a manner that could increase the United Kingdom or United States tax on us. This reallocation also could result in the imposition of interest and penalties.

Previous wording
In addition, we cannot assure you that the tax laws on which we have relied to minimize our income taxes will remain unchanged in the future. We are directly and indirectly affected by new tax legislation and regulation and the interpretation of tax laws and regulations worldwide. Changes in such legislation, regulation or interpretation could increase our taxes and have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. This includes potential changes in tax laws or the interpretation of tax laws arising out of the Base Erosion Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) project initiated by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”). In July and October of 2021, the OECD/G-20 Inclusive Framework on BEPS released statements outlining a political agreement on the general rules to be adopted for taxing the digital economy, specifically with respect to rules for nexus and profit allocation (Pillar One) and rules for a 15% global minimum tax (Pillar Two). 140 member states have agreed to support implementation, including The Bahamas, where we earn a substantial portion of our revenue. On December 15, 2022, the European Union Member States formally adopted the European Union’s Pillar Two Directive with effective dates of January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025 for certain aspects of the directive. Generally, the Pillar Two rules apply to multinational enterprises with annual revenue of €750 million or more in their consolidated financial statements in at least two of the four fiscal years immediately preceding the tested fiscal year. Given these revenue requirements, the earliest Pillar Two would apply to us would be beginning January 1, 2026. The Government of The Bahamas is currently implementing an International Business Income Tax in compliance with Pillar Two. Specifically, the Bahamas has announced plans to enact a qualified domestic minimum top up tax for multinational corporations that meet the aforementioned Pillar Two revenue thresholds. We are continuing to monitor Bahamas implementation of the new tax regime. In addition to Bahamas, certain European countries in which we have subsidiaries have either enacted or have draft Pillar Two legislation. If we become subject to such legislation but are not exempt under any revenue-based threshold to which such an income tax might be subject, and if certain restructuring alternatives being contemplated cannot be implemented, there could be a material adverse impact on our effective tax rate or higher cash tax liabilities for our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Many of the land-based venues that we serve or may serve in the future offer recreational entertainment facilities and activities similar to those offered on cruise ships, often without additional charge to guests. A number of the hotels we serve also offer casino gambling. These activities and facilities compete with us for customer time and disposable income. Our destination resort health and wellness centers also compete with other health and wellness centers in their vicinities, as well as with other beauty, relaxation or other therapeutic alternatives. These include salons that offer these services at prices significantly lower than those charged by us. We believe, however, that the prices charged by us are appropriate for the quality of the experience we provide in our respective markets. In addition, we also compete, both for customers and for contracts with hotels, with health and wellness centers and beauty salons owned or operated by companies that have offered their destination resort health and wellness services longer than we have, some of which enjoy greater name recognition with customers and prospective customers than health and wellness centers operated by us. Also, a number of these health and wellness center operators may have greater resources than we do. Further, some hotel operators provide health and wellness services themselves. If we are unable to compete effectively in one or more areas of our operations, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Pandemics have had in the past, and may continue to have in the future, an adverse impact on our business, operations, results of operations and financial condition, including liquidity. We could become subject to actions taken by governments, businesses and individuals in response to the recent pandemic or future outbreaks of illnesses, including limiting or banning travel and cruises. A recurrence of the recent pandemic or future outbreaks of illnesses could have a negative impact on global and regional economies and economic activity, including an impact on unemployment rates and consumer discretionary spending, a short and/or longer-term impact on the demand for travel, transient and group business, and levels of consumer confidence. A recurrence of the recent pandemic or future outbreaks of illnesses could also present a significant threat to our employees’ well-being and morale, which may impact employee productivity and employee retention.

Some credit agencies may downgrade our credit ratings as a result of future outbreaks of illnesses. If our credit ratings are downgraded, or if general market conditions were to ascribe a higher risk to our credit rating levels, our industry, or our company, our access to capital and the cost of debt financing could be negatively impacted. The interest rate we pay on our existing debt instruments is affected by our credit ratings. Accordingly, a downgrade may cause our cost of borrowing to further increase.
Current wording
The recent pandemic caused, and future outbreaks of illnesses may again cause, heightened volatility and disruptions in the global credit and financial markets, and this may adversely affect our ability to borrow and could increase our counterparty credit risks. In addition, some credit agencies may downgrade our credit ratings as a result of future outbreaks of illnesses. If our credit ratings are downgraded, or if general market conditions were to ascribe a higher risk to our credit rating levels, our industry, or our company, our access to capital and the cost of debt financing could be negatively impacted.

As of December 31, 2024, we had $98.6 million of secured indebtedness under our Credit Facilities (as defined below). Our debt level and the terms of our financing arrangements could adversely affect our financial condition and limit our ability to successfully implement our growth strategies. In addition, under the Credit Facilities, certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries have granted the lenders a security interest in substantially all of their assets. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations will depend on our future performance, which will be affected by the other risk factors described herein. If we do not generate enough cash flow to pay our debt service obligations, we may be required to refinance all or part of our existing debt, sell our assets, borrow more money or raise equity. We may not be able to take any of these actions on a timely basis, on terms satisfactory to us, or at all.

As of December 31, 2025, we had $85.0 million of secured indebtedness under our Credit Facilities (as defined below).

In addition, under the Credit Facilities, certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries have granted the lenders a security interest in substantially all of their assets. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations will depend on our future performance, which will be affected by the other risk factors described herein. If we do not generate enough cash flow to pay our debt service obligations, we may be required to refinance all or part of our existing debt, sell our assets, borrow more money or raise equity. We may not be able to take any of these actions on a timely basis, on terms satisfactory to us, or at all.
Previous wording
Our Credit Facilities contain certain financial covenants and a number of traditional negative covenants, including limitations on our ability to, among other things, incur and/or undertake asset sales and other dispositions, liens, indebtedness, certain acquisitions, and investments, consolidations, mergers, reorganizations and other fundamental changes, payment of dividends and other distributions to equity and warrant holders and prepayments of material subordinated debt, in each case, subject to customary exceptions. Any failure to comply with the restrictions of the Credit Facilities may result in an event of default under the agreements. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the Credit Facilities are entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the Credit Facilities and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor, subject to customary intercreditor provisions among the first and second lien secured parties.

The demands of consumers with respect to health and wellness services and products continue to evolve. Among other things, there is a continuing trend to add services at health and wellness centers similar to those traditionally provided in medical facilities, including services relating to skin care. If we are unable to identify and capture new audiences, our ability to successfully integrate additional services and products will be adversely affected. Our ability to provide certain additional services depends on our ability to find appropriate third parties with whom to work in connection with these services and, in certain cases, could be dependent on our ability to fund substantial costs. We cannot assure that we will be able to find such appropriate third parties or be able to fund such costs. We also cannot assure that we will be able to continue to expand our health and wellness services sufficiently to keep up with consumer demand. Accordingly, we may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategies or continue to maintain sales at our current rate, or at all. If we fail to implement our growth strategies, our revenue and profitability may be negatively impacted, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting, and once we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, our independent registered public accounting firm will also be required to provide an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting. The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess our internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation. To comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the requirements of being a reporting company under the Exchange Act and any complex accounting rules in the future, we may need to upgrade our information technology systems; implement additional financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures; and hire additional accounting and finance staff. If we or, if required, our auditors, are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and the trading price of our common stock may decline.

It is unlikely that Bahamian courts would entertain original actions against Bahamian companies, their directors or officers predicated solely upon U.S. federal securities laws. The Bahamian courts may apply any rule of Bahamian law which is mandatory irrespective of the governing law and may refuse to apply a rule of such governing law of the relevant documents, if it is manifestly incompatible with the public policy of The Bahamas. Furthermore, judgments based upon any civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws are not directly enforceable in The Bahamas. Rather, a lawsuit must be brought in The Bahamas on any such judgment. The courts of The Bahamas would recognize a U.S. judgment as a valid judgment, and permit the same to provide the basis of a fresh action in The Bahamas and should give a judgment based thereon without there being a re-trial or reconsideration of the merits of the case provided that (i) the courts in the United States had proper jurisdiction under Bahamian conflict of law rules over the parties subject to such judgment, (ii) the judgment is for a debt or definite sum of money other than a sum payable in respect of taxes or charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or penalty, (iii) the U.S. courts did not contravene the rules of natural justice of

Our Articles include certain provisions which may have the effect of delaying or preventing a future takeover or change in control of us that shareholders may consider to be in their best interests. Among other things, our Articles provide for a classified Board serving staggered terms of three years, super majority voting requirements with respect to certain significant transactions and restrictions on the acquisition of greater than 9.99% ownership without our Board’s approval. Our equity plans and our executive officers’ employment agreements provide certain rights to plan participants and those officers, respectively, in the event of a change in control of the Company.

Among other things, until recently, our Articles provided for a classified Board serving staggered terms of three years, which classified structure is in the process of being phased out but continues to be applicable to a portion of our Board, super majority voting requirements with respect to certain significant transactions and restrictions on the acquisition of greater than 9.99% ownership without our Board’s approval. Our equity plans and our executive officers’ employment agreements provide certain rights to plan participants and those officers, respectively, in the event of a change in control of the Company.

On December 15, 2022, the European Union Member States formally adopted the European Union’s Pillar Two Directive with effective dates of January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025 for certain aspects of the directive. Generally, the Pillar Tworules apply to multinational enterprises with annual revenue of €750 million or more in their consolidated financial statements in at least two of the four fiscal years immediately preceding the tested fiscal year. Given these revenue requirements, the earliest Pillar Two would apply to us would be beginning January 1, 2026. The Government of The Bahamas is currently implementing an International Business Income Tax in compliance with Pillar Two. Specifically, the Bahamas has announced plans to enact a qualified domestic minimum top up tax for multinational corporations that meet the aforementioned Pillar Two revenue thresholds. We are continuing to monitor Bahamas implementation of the new tax regime.

However, as noted above, our largest operating subsidiary is no longer incorporated in the Bahamas, but rather in the Cayman Islands. Furthermore, dividends received by our Bahamas parent are not currently subject to taxation under the Pillar Two rules. The Cayman Islands have not enacted any Pillar Two legislation, including, without limitation, a qualified domestic minimum tax. In addition to The Bahamas, certain European countries in which we had active operating subsidiaries during 2025 have either enacted or have draft Pillar Two legislation. If we become subject to such legislation and continue to have operations in such jurisdictions, but are not exempt under any revenue-based threshold to which such an income tax might be subject, there could be a material adverse impact on our effective tax rate and/or higher cash tax liabilities for our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The recent pandemic caused, and future outbreaks of illnesses may again cause, heightened volatility and disruptions in the global credit and financial markets, and this may adversely affect our ability to borrow and could increase our counterparty credit risks. Additionally, future outbreaks of illnesses may have adverse negative impacts on restrictions in the agreements governing our indebtedness that require us to maintain minimum levels of liquidity and otherwise limit our flexibility in operating our business, including the significant portion of assets that are collateral under these agreements.
